The Cat5 ethernet cable that goes between the head unit and main radio for the D710 is kind of special. Here is a picture of it showing the cable. I'm pretty sure those are solid core wires.

No, you'll need a dual band radio. 2m and 70cm. Kenwood TH-F6A Amateur Radio HT THF6 or the 7r like you mention would be a good choice. Good question

That is pretty cheap for the size, and it includes a mount/coax. Excellent find. If you want something smaller profile, this is pretty slick Diamond MR77 Dual Band Mobile Antenna

Cooool.

I didn't get an email. Will someone forward it to me?

Moleculo, 145.650 - 145.250 MHz specifically Beetle, yeah 214s Shockwave, yeah mine went off too. But somehow he convinced me... The duplexer data sheet says use RG-9 or RG-142, but I don't see that on Davis RF. I'm going to get the RG214s with some Amphenol UHF connectors and do my best.

pvc pipe. Nice and bendy!

Hawk, Radios have their own built in signal isolation, it is not much but it usually is enough to have two radios using different antennas and tuned to similar frequencies to ignore eachother. But since you want to tune your radios to similar frequencies but use the same antenna, that built...

Hawk, The multi-coupler link you provided is what you need. It is commonly referred to as a duplexer, there are two types, bandpass (passes only the tuned frequency) and band notch (does not pass the tuned frequency). That will allow multiple radios on one antenna, the cavity filters stop...

kb1ugx No pictures are shown. Can you take a picture of the setup? Do you still have the dummy load available? Do you have other coax you can use? Have you tuned the antenna yet? SWR 2.2 won't kill anything, and I bet we can make it better. jcm

KB1UGX, Working with and learning from friends is a good way to do things. I wouldn't have questioned him, and now I am interested to know why not to do an SWR reading with a dummy load. jcm

Doing the mod to your radio won't hurt it. The performance should be extremely similar. One benefit of the marine HT is that it will (should) have a monoband antenna tuned specifically for the small range of frequencies used for that service. Goodluck and if "your friend" does any tests, post...

MM, Thanks! 1. OK, thats good that there is at least one other that has the same short as mine. 2. Right. I put the short cables back in there and... 3. The massive insertion loss is gone and the response curve flipped. I haven't had the time to learn about how adding various...

KD8JUF, Amateur HF Transceivers Start here, open up every link and start getting rid of the ones that are too expensive. Then compare features and start saving. When I become rich and famous, I'm getting Kenwood TS-480SAT and TS-480HX Transceivers TS480 KE7VVT

I think that the reason they are not legal to transmit is because they are not approved to do so by the FCC. They supposedly have some smart guys that test each device where the manufacturer specifies the freqs it will be used for. So no, probably not legal even if you are licensed to transmit...
